The Petrshinskaya Tower in Prague was built at the suggestion of a Club of Czech tourists, who, after visiting the World's Fair in Paris in 1889, ensured that something was created in the capital that could become the same symbol of the Czech Republic as the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The construction of the tower began in March 1891, and its grand opening took place in August. 170 tons of metal were used to make the tower, but it could not catch up with the Eiffel Tower in height – only 60 meters. However, if you consider the height at which it is located, it becomes clear why it is so popular among tourists.
After climbing 299 steps or taking the elevator, you will get to more than 100 meters above sea level, which offers views not only of the whole of Prague, but also of the surrounding area. In good weather, from the observation deck
